Mr.. Cleveland has been induced to
adopt the Sparks theory in reference to
indemnity lands, and all the sound con.
stltutional lawyers of the country are
laughing at him, just as they have been
laughing at Sparks. There is a deal Of
demagcgism in MI. Cleyeland's late
epistle concerning these lands. coming
as it does when some of his intimate
friends are busy telling the country that
he is not a candidate for reelection.
The law in the case is LAID down by con
gress. The supreme court of the United
States has sanctioned it as legal. Sec
rotary Lamar, one of the ablest lawyers
in the country, comedies with the SUI
preme court. The attorney general and
his assistant, Mr.. jerks, haye sustained
the opinion of the court and of Mr.. La
mar. But Mr.. Cleveland, in his letter,
oyerrides all these opinions and agrees
with Sparks. There can no longer be
any doubt as to who is prompting and
sustaining Sparks in his remarkable
land policy. 1t is Grover Cleveland.
There can no longer be any doubt as to
the motive of Mr.. Cleveland. He is
seeking political capital.
"Our public domain" says MI. Cleve'
land, "is our national wealth, the earn
est Of our growth and heritage of oul
people" This sounds very pretty f; but
did Mr.. Cleveland ever see any public
domain? Does he know what it is
Does he care Il continental?
Speaking Of this indemnity land bus
mess, Secretary Lamar says 81 should
be rash indeed to attempt to impair the
Obligations of contracts which congress
has made and which the supreme court
of the United States has sanctioned as
legal, equable and constitutional
Here we have the view Of Il nan who
looks ut the case from II legal stand
point. Mr.. Cleveland views it from ,
political standpoint. He knows TIL
kind of talk that captiyates the illiterat'
voters,

"Sliyer Cervice."
Park River Gazette.

Errors in the postofices are getting
very numerous throughout the country.
No less than 2,12O,157 have been report
ed for 1887, rs against an average OF
95S, 639 for the five preceding years.
Whether this reults from the heads of
the departments having to devote all Of
their energies to the removal of the Re-
publican postmasters, or whether the
Democrats who replaced the latter are
uniformly incompetent, is not quite
clear. Possibly the increase in the num-
Der of errors may he attributed to both
these causes, in which case no improve
ment can be hoped for this year.

CLEVELAND having Endorsed the Sparks
land policy, Sparks indorses Cleveland
in the following language:
1 thought when I went to Chicago to
the convention that Cleveland was
hardly the ma we wanted, and even
after I voted for him there I had my
misgivings on looking at his picture
He looked to me slow and heavy. But
after we came down here and SHOOK
hands with him and looked him in the
eye, I was satisfied that we had elected
Il man, of great courage and intelli.
gence, and so he has proven himself. =

SOME SUGGESTIONS.

The new board of trustees have two
important duties to perform for the
benefit of the town.
First. there should be a full and COM
pIete consideration of the water ques-
ton. After ascertaining the extent to
which the city may be taxed for the
purpose of securing a good water sup
ply, the board should not hesitate to go
to the full limit of expense, under the
law, Whether the city shall be supplied
from some of the adjacent lakes, or
whether it shall undertake to sink an
artesian we'll, is for the board to say.
When the board has decided which is
best, the question must be submitted to
a vote of the people. There is no ques-
ton as to how that vote will stand.
Therefore much depends on the intelli-
gent action of the board. The city
must have water.
The next important matter is the bur.
ial of the numerous carcasses which are
strewn along the beach from the boat
landing north to the head of the bay,
and the destruction (by fire or removaD
Of the many tons Of garbage which has
been dumped within sight and within
easy smelling distance of the business
portion Of the city. After these rank
%nuisances have been removed the board
should set aside a dumping ground, and
prescribe heavy penalties governing the
same.
Among the Improvements which the
board should consider at an early date
is the addition of a second story to the
engine house.
There is no doubt that the board is
sufficiently enterprising and intelligent
to grasp these necessities. The INTER.
OCEAN simply offers the suggestions in
the interest of the city's welfare and the
health Of its people.

A BISMARCK special assures us that
the largest insurance deal" ever made
in Dakota IS that just closed by an
agency in that city, insuring the terri
torlal buildings for 100000. In this
case the word "deal" IS particularly
appropriate. The name of the imported
Democratic governor does not appear
in the "deal," but it is a cold day when
he gets left.

Republican nominee. In any event,
Col. Forney predicts a sweeping Repub-
